About
ACTION & CARE TRUST (ACT) has been formed with the specific mandate of assisting Sri Lankan civilians whose lives, livelihoods and families have been permanently adversely affected by war.
ACT is a non-political Trust formed by a group of concerned Sri Lankans in Colombo. Our aim is to focus on the Survivors of war and endeavor to improve their quality of life, in the short, medium and long term.
Three Phase Action Plan
Phase 1: Emergency Relief & Support to Receiving Hospitals
Phase 2: Rehabilitation Assistance for Survivors
Phase 3: Self-Sustainability Initiatives for Survivors
Phase 1 is complete. Phase 1 involved emergency aid deliveries to the following hospitals:
- Vavuniya Hospital (Completed 04/04/09)
- Vavuniya and Padaviya Hospitals (Completed)
- Menik Farm Camp and Cheddikulam (Ongoing)
We are making a Commitment to Action.
ACT asks YOU to join us.
Conclusion
Sri Lanka’s civil war has taken its toll on all of us, be it personally, economically or distantly. When the tsunami happened, the private sector worked tirelessly to provide relief to those that needed it most. We at ACT wish to inspire a similar response and ask that all Sri Lankans come together to protect and care for our weak and helpless.
This Trust was formed specifically as a result of the tremendous response we received not just from our friends but from complete strangers, all of whom heard the call to action.
We will strive to extend our help in the efforts to rehabilitate the North and East of our country.
The time to ACT is now.
How can you help?
